Runner discovers ultra-marathons are a lot easier if you use a car
Race organizers were tipped off when she burned through a mile in 1 minute 40Whatever it was, some error of judgement crept into the tired psyche of ultra-marathon runnerthat led her to “run” 2.5 miles of a recent race by traveling them in an automobile.
“We can confirm that a runner has now been disqualified from the event having taken vehicle transport during part of the route,” race director Wayne Drinkwater said. ."The race didn't go to plan. She said she was feeling sick and tired on the race and wanted to drop out," he said."She has cooperated fully with the race organizers’ investigations, giving them a full account of what happened.”that her leg began to feel sore near the halfway point of the race and, after seeing a friend next to the course, accepted a ride in his car to the next checkpoint to tell marshals she was withdrawing.
"It wasn't malicious. It was miscommunication. I would never purposefully cheat and this was not a target race, but I don't want to make excuses."
